People v. Lopez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jan 13, 1986
116 A.D.2d 592 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

January 13, 1986

Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Vaughn, J.).


Judgment affirmed.

Defendant has failed to preserve for appellate review his contention concerning the content of the Miranda warnings given him (see, People v Tutt, 38 N.Y.2d 1011).

There is no merit to defendant's contention that the police were required to readminister the Miranda warnings before expanding the scope of the continuing interrogation to encompass another crime. The mandate of Miranda v Arizona ( 384 U.S. 436) is met if a defendant is adequately informed of his rights and effectively waives them (see, People v Williams, 62 N.Y.2d 285), and in this case that was accomplished by informing defendant of his rights prior to the interrogation session and eliciting an effective waiver. Lazer, J.P., Rubin, Kunzeman and Kooper, JJ., concur.
